There's pavement and elevation differences that usually play a big factor. If you zoom in on the street lights you can see how hard it's snowing. The white on white makes it hard to see otherwise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I can say it’s basically been snowing for 24 hours now. . 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 It continues to absolutely dump snow. If I'd gotten these rates a few more hours those crazy 3k NAM 15 inch totals would have verified. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurbus Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Kinda crazy I have 10 inches of snow, sitting at 23 degrees, and now it has been sleeting/icing for the past 30 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy that you've switched. The HRRR shows me switching towards midnight. I'm curious to see if that actually happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Yeah I’m getting some warm nose here too. Mostly snow but maybe a bit of melting or sleet. John may be protected by Frozen Head/ Cross mt. Might could be up to 7.5 now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnEastTN Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I can say it’s basically been snowing for 24 hours now. .Same here. Though now I'm getting sleet and freezing rain in between the snow showers on the radar. The gaps in the radar is just lighter precip which for me is freezing rain and sleet. Then a heavier snow shower come overhead and big flakes for a bit. It's weird because I'm used to mixing being at the start of an event, not the end of an event while the temp is actually falling through the mid 20's.

I’ve never gotten above maybe dime or penny size flakes at best. Since around dark it just hit the gas here. The feed has been coming from around your area or maybe a little west of you. My rates all night and day were never close to what I've had the last 90 minutes. It just had snowed on frozen ground for 20 straight hours in the lower 20s, so i didn't need rates to pile up a decent accumulation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 My heavy snow from this has been running SW to NE from around the 27 indicator in Morgan Co there. I think that's around Wartburg or Sunbright, just NW of Holston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It has been sleeting Here in West Knox. for the last hour on top of the 9 Inches of snow. Now setting @ 23. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 It's odd that the HRRR indicates snow continuing around Loudon,Knox, Jefferson, Hamblin but has the zr/sleet mix on the west side. Which Knoxtron is pretty far west and is experiencing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhound Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I’ve always wondered why my amounts have been less than others around me. Though maybe it was a defective Harbor Freight tape measure??? But seeing some totals of others around me I pulled up a topography map of Knox Co. My house is right at the red mark. Could it be that I’m getting some down sloping from this little ridge to the west? For the record……I’m sitting at 6.75” right now. Edit to add: there’s about a 200ft elevation difference from the highest point of that ridge to my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rulers I bought for this literally were 12 inch rulers that were near 12.5 inches long, so your tape could be off. That close to a ridge shouldn't cause downsloping and I'm for sure 200 feet of it would matter. I've actually saw people who live near the ridge get extra snow from NW flow as the snow it generates spills over the mountain to nearby areas just on the back side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silas Lang Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Measured 9 inches at the peak of the goose feather flakes. Probably a little more compacted with the sleet and rain from earlier. All snow here again. Tiny flakes, but a lot. Everything has a fresh coat of snow. A great winter day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
